Limited visitor parking is available at 550 Cranbrook Road, with overflow parking at 652 Cranbrook Road.
All visitors must check in at the Brookside Main Office. Walk south on Cranbrook Road and make a left into the 550 Cranbrook Road parking lot to enter the front doors to Brookside below the tower. The Office is the second door on the left, just before the staircase leading down.
The library, named after Brookside’s second headmaster, occupies the light, airy former glassed-in courtyard, now enclosed and open to the sky with large skylights. Just above a child’s eye level, wonderful original illustrations from children’s books line the walls, and a large collection of children’s books peek out from the many shelves placed throughout the bright space. Children gather here for story time, to learn about the library and its organization, and to choose books for personal reading. A remnant of the space’s original incarnation as a courtyard, the blue tile fountain with three crouching sculptures delights library patrons as they sit and read or check out books.
